Job description

Personal Assistant for 9-Year-Old Explorer!

Location: York (YO31)

Hours One night a week (after school) 3:15-6:15 and then roughly one full day per week in the holidays (maybe more).

Hourly Rate: £14.00 per hour

My name is Walter and I’m 9 years old.

I love being outside, running, playing Minecraft, I love building LEGO, I also like studying water (hydrology) and one day would like to design a hydrological car and taking things apart to see how they work (sometimes demolishing them too!). I’m super curious and really love it when people share their knowledge with me — especially if it’s about how things are made or how the world works.

You’ll find me so much fun to be around — I’m energetic, full of ideas, and always ready for an adventure. I do often need to follow my own direction and sometimes struggle with doing things other people’s way. So, I need someone who can go with the flow, be calm and understanding, and support me without trying to change who I am.

We’re looking for a kind, caring, and most importantly patient Personal Assistant (PA) to support me in doing what I love — exploring, learning, and having fun in safe and meaningful ways.
